Interestingly, cosmetic surgeons have noted that the winter months appear to create an increased demand for laser treatments.<\/p>\n
Speaking with reporters, Dr. Lyle Weeks a prominent US plastic surgeon said: “It’s very important to avoid the sun as much as possible and it’s a lot easier to do that in the winter time than it is in the middle of the summer.\u201d<\/p>\n
As such, patients wanting work done feel laser treatments are more appropriate for their needs.<\/p>\n
But it isn\u2019t just a decision by patients that is fuelling this demand. It seems new technologies also work better during the winter season rather than during the warmer months of the year. Referring to 2 new lasers used at her own clinic, Alice King a cosmetic surgery<\/a> technician said: “Doing this type of fractional resurfacing improves skin texture, skin colour, pore size, acne<\/a> scarring, any kind of scarring issues that we may have.\u201d<\/p>\n Fractional resurfacing apparently is used to treat skin discoloration and wrinkles.<\/p>\n Alice added: “The beauty of this compared to some of the elderly technology were they removed entire surfaces of the skin, the recovery is much faster and easier.<\/p>\n We can even treat other body parts so this is a great anti-aging treatment for sun damage on the backs of the hand, the neck, the d\u00e9colletage.\u201d<\/p>\n Dr. Weekes also said that patients need a couple of treatments, although they are not cheap and cost around \u00a31500 for 2 treatments. He added: “The results occur over time and you really won’t get the final result even from a single treatment for as long as six months.\u201d<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Interestingly, cosmetic surgeons have noted that the winter months appear to create an increased demand for laser treatments.
